CIARA SILKE

Galway accessories designer Ciara Silke, creates limited edition hand illustrated printed silk and cashmere scarves. The NCAD graduate has worked with global luxury brands before setting up her own in 2013. In their design and manufacture, she juxtaposes bold graphic imagery with soft lightweight fabrics. Similarly, she develops delicate imagery and prints onto heavyweight fabrics. The result of these unexpected combinations are striking and compelling pieces. Designed in Ireland, printed in Italy using 100% silk, the texture, hand illustrated bold patterns and vibrant colours are key to the unique appeal of this contemporary brand. Ciara is currently working on her product range and is developing exciting new products which will debut at Showcase.
